What really happens when Giles struggles to "pull some strings" and get information from those mysterious contacts…

NOTE: This is a very short piece of silliness that ran out from my head quite early in the morning. If you can catch the crossover (not that that's particularly difficult), kudos to you! I don't own Giles, or the unmentioned x-over person either.

BRRiiiiiiinnnngg!

"Hello?"

"Jason, hey, this is Giles."

"Yeah, Giles, hey mate! Long time no speak."

"Yes, it has been a while. Are you still working at that rare book store?"

"As a matter of fact, I'm here right now, why?"

"I was wondering if you could help me to find something."

"You don't want to talk? Catch up on old times? Giles, It's been four years, buddy!"

"Yes…I know that… but this is extremely important and…"

"So my friendship isn't important to you, is that it?"

"Uh, no—I didn't say—"

"So after four years of complete silence, not even a friendly email or cheap Christmas card you just call me only to get something, and then to say I don't matter at all as a person, is that it? My feelings can't be hurt or burned like everyone else's?"

"Wait— I—"

"Well that's just gentlemanly of you isn't it? First you want something, then my feelings don't matter, and now you want to deny it! You just want to have your pudding and eat it too, don't you!"

"But—they've always said you could translate anything...At the Watcher Academy you found that reference..."

"Do I look like the Dali Lama to you? Why do you always assume I know everything? Go find a fucking Encyclopedia Britannica. CLICK."

Pointless, I know. But I was bored and it was late—uh… early. Oh, don't assume I know anything whatsoever about the Latin language. I totally made all of that up. Did I spell Dali Lama correct? I don't think so…
